What the design shows

Central vignette

  • A tranquil landscape view labeled “Blick a. d. See”
    (“View from the lake” or “View over the lake”)

  • Rolling hills, water, and distant shoreline—likely a local scenic view near Neubrandenburg

  • Small houses dotting the hills emphasize rural Mecklenburg character

Design elements

  • Large “25” numerals in the upper corners

  • Oval scenic frame bordered in red
